0\left(5-7x\right)=8-\left(4x+6\right)
Multiply 0 and 5 to get 0.
0=8-\left(4x+6\right)
Anything times zero gives zero.
0=8-4x-6
To find the opposite of 4x+6, find the opposite of each term.
0=2-4x
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
2-4x=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-4x=-2
Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-2}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-2}{-4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
